LT-5 Cams - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

LGAFF · 10-21-2013

A few years back I picked an old magazine up off the floor, the pages opened up to the car restoration ads in the back...included was an ad for a cam restoration company. On a whim, I called to see if they could do an LT-5 cam.

When I inquired about the LT-5... the soft spoken gentleman on the line laughed and said, I have not heard that name in a long time. You see I did cams for Callaway including an LT-5 cam that never made it to production.

The man on the other line was Dave Generous....Dave also did the cam for a car you might know...the Callaway Sledgehammer.

Dave was nice enough to do the cams for my 90, and has since retired and sold off his equipment.....but not before doing 4 more intake cams for me and two more exhaust. Dave was then nice enough to sell me the cam masters for the LT-5, 5 spare LT-5 cams, and a copy of the Sledgehammer cam.

I feel lucky to have met Dave, he is a gentleman and the last of a dying breed of old school engine masters
